sidewinder Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Picked up a Mosaic Commodore Vol 2 myself quite recently for pretty reasonable £. Now I just need a Vol 3 ! Quote
Simon Weil Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Looking to the East, Japan and South Korea continue to be huge markets for physical music product. As a percentage of music purchased, physical media is about 85% in Japan.Indeed, jazz reissue CD's are alive and well in Japan. Blue Note just had a bunch of interesting titles reissued the last two months there. When's the last time they reissued catalog titles in the US? 2009 or something like that?I just bought a bunch of Japanese jazz reissues from FOPP in central London for £3 a pop - a big discount on the £20+ I remember such Japanese reissues costing.

Dmitry Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Posted May 9, 2017 Was just perusing eBay for the prices on the Chaloff set, and I think it went down by much since I looked last , 5 or so years ago. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=chaloff+mosaic&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc Quote
ArtSalt Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 I am personally looking forward to the day the Nat King Cole set reduces in value and becomes affordable! Quote

sidewinder Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Maybe there is a correlation between the current price of OOP Mosaics and the value against major currencies of the $US? For us Europeans they have remained fairly steady in most cases. An indication of just how clapped out the US dollar used to be ! Edited May 9, 2017 by sidewinder Quote

I think it's mostly because Mosaic customers are older and tend to die fairly often, so the used sets are hitting the market pretty regularly now. If anything, I think the prices will drop some more. I'm just hoping the Chinese will start copying the Japanese, and become the next jazz-crazed nation. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Yeah - I think you might be right there. Lots of estate sales. The hipster/snowflake lot don't seem interested in them though, too busy buying original Blue Notes ! Edited May 9, 2017 by sidewinder Quote

Indeed, if the Chinese get into jazz on the scale of Japan we're back in business baby! Quote
Brad Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) What seems to be happening is what's happened to other hobbies: no kids! I don't mean that there aren't kids playing jazz but that there are no kids collecting jazz or interested in jazz (or so it seems) not to mention that it's us oldsters who still buy cds, which are slowly disappearing.

Scott Dolan Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 CDs?! Hell, kids don't even buy downloads anymore! Quote
